Stand builder in Nantes

Since 1 January 2026, the Parc des Expositions (Exponantes), on Route de Saint-Joseph de Porterie, and the Cité des Congrès, opposite the station, have been run jointly under the name “Rendez-vous à Nantes”. Serbotel takes place there, along with regional and national trade shows, congresses and conventions. We work in both venues, with our own crews and our own workshop.

Good to know

Exhibiting in Nantes: what to know.

01

The Parc des Expositions de Nantes

On the banks of the Erdre, the exhibition centre has two entrances: entrance 1 at the Beaujoire stop on tram line 1, entrance 2 at the Ranzay stop, which also serves the LAPS hall. The venue lists 5,000 parking spaces close by. With two entrances, a truck at the wrong gate is an easy mistake to make, so before delivery we confirm which entrance and which hall your stand is going into.

02

Serbotel and the food trades

Every two years in October, Serbotel brings the food trades, bakery and hospitality to the Parc des Expositions. These stands cook for real, with ovens, worktops, water points and refrigerated storage. We plan the connections with the show’s technical services while the stand is still on the drawing board.

03

The Cité des Congrès

Right opposite the station (south exit), in the city centre, the Cité hosts congresses and conventions. Tram line 1 stops at Duchesse Anne, Château des Ducs de Bretagne, one stop from the station’s north exit, and busway line 4 at Cité Internationale des Congrès. The underground car park has 420 spaces. Its exhibition areas are made for compact stands that go up in short slots.

04

Hotels and transport in Nantes

By tram, the station is 15 minutes from the exhibition centre; Nantes Atlantique airport is 15 minutes from the city centre. The metropolitan area has more than 8,000 hotel rooms, and for a congress the Convention Bureau can help house delegates, including blocks of rooms held in advance.

05

One crew from build-up to breakdown

Nantes is about four hours by road from our workshop. The crew that builds your stand is the one that takes it down at closing. A modular stand designed for Nantes then goes into storage at our workshop and comes back out, with new visuals, for your next shows.
